By means or" this invention theopening of either sash requires nothing further to be done in order to properly screen the opening, the sash itself drawing the screen oil of its roller as'the sash is being opened, and the movement of the sash imparting movement to the roller to rewind the screen there on as the sash 1s bping closed. Th s gives the same screening effect as screens known as all-over screens, without the ObJGCJ- the glass where it obstructs the vision and serves to catch dust to bobcat-en againstthe at the ends of the tra'vel'of the sashes and glass during rain storms. I The invention does not necessitate ,Fthje presence of screens for both sashes, as either sash may be alone provided with the screen and serve the purpose as long as the other 7 sash remains closed, such construction being shown in Figs. 8 and 9, where the upper sash alone is provided with the screen. and
